Forty-three percent of participants this year come from out of state. This is a testament to the race’s nationwide allure, Morris said.

“We are a favorite destination race,” she said. “Runners appreciate the small venue and Rocky Mountain scenery.”

Many competitors came out for a special Father’s Day experience. Others attended because it was on their bucket list or because they wanted to tour the area in a unique way.

The Estes Park Marathon is put on every year by the Estes Park Running Club, a 501c(4) nonprofit that provides fitness events fundraisers for local youth programs. This year, the club welcomed youth teams and other organizations to help run the marathon.

The marathon features a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10k run and a 5k run.

The results for those races are as follows:

Marathon winner: Gefrey Terer with a time of 2:46:49.

Half Marathon winner: Jonathan Bade with a time of 1:19:00

10k winner: Caroline Veltri with a time of 40:00

5k winner: Joe Chapman with a time of 20:10.

The Estes Park Running Club would like to thank the various groups and organizations that help put this event on. Proceeds from the race will be distributed to the Estes Park High School swim team, the Estes Park High School cheerleaders, the Estes Park High School cross country and track teams and the Estes Park Learning Place in July.
